Inquire with the director or owner of the company about tutors who have a background in the specific subject your child is struggling with. 

4. Interview the tutor. Though the tutoring company screens their tutors for you, it’s important to talk to the tutor to ensure that your child meshes well with him or her. Conduct a short interview, and focus on asking how he or she will help your child master the specific subject.

5. Work on building trust. An academic tutor is someone who will help nurture your child’s intellectual growth. A tutor has an important role in your child’s academic career, you want to have mutual respect and trust.
